Captions in pdf containing line breaks ("\n") #663
Description
I am not sure if this is a flextable issue or not but I figured I'd start here. See the example below. Is "\n" not supported for pdf output? I checked ?set_caption and I see mostly notes in there about HTML and Word output. Should I be setting pdf captions a different way?
My .Rmd file....

title: "Flextable test"
date: "2024-10-03"
output:
pdf_document:
latex_engine: xelatex

'''{r}
library(flextable)
library(tibble)
tibble(
x = seq(0, 10, 1),
y = seq(100, 200, 10),
z = seq(1000, 2000, 100)
) %>% flextable() %>%
set_caption(as_paragraph(as_chunk("Hey Hey This is the Caption \n Wow Another Line \n And Another Line")))
'''
....produces excellent HTML output....
....but has a funky pdf caption when knitted using knitr....
(Using bookdown::pdf_document2 produces this same issue).
Any thoughts? Maybe a piece of the manual or a closed issue I missed?
